Almost

I almost dialed your number,

Well I thought the coast was clear

cause it's looked up for so long at me,

And said call me please.

But the place was closing,

the countergirl turned to sign, the cooks

were getting their coats

and I got mine,

and said goodnight to the scene of empty seats.

(Chorus)

And if I am a sailor,

you are the warm gulf wind,

and you've blown into this little port

and roused my dreams again.

I see my mouth moving when I talk to you,

I do,

I see my lips and I feel like a kid

who can't keep something in.

Cause I blunder the paper you were writing on

you left your impression long after you'd gone

on me,

marks only I can see.

(Chorus)

When we say sometime later,

you know that we don't say when,

You have into this little port

and roused my dreams again.

I almost dialed your number,

Well I thought the coast was clear

cause it's looked up for so long at me,

And said call me please.

(Chorus)

When we say sometime later,

you know that we don't say when,

You have into this little port

and roused my dreams again.

Roused my dreams.

Sailor to wind...
